[Nexus 7 General] robbbzilla:
I am very excited to run this but I was hoping that it would not be a stripped down version of Linux but the full desktop with tablet ui tweaks. I think a slackware based Linux like vector Linux would work but kudos to Ubuntu for developing this. I would love to run a regular Linux distro on my nexus 7. It does not seem stable enough or even basic functionality for use. It would be hard to replace the maturity of Android but I hope they get some traction and become a real alternative. I would love to have real multi window and multi tasking abilities on my tab.

I have to also give credit to Google because android is so stable and good and is running a Linux kernel it certainly proves the value of open source software. Look at the attacks on apple ios lately. Their precious closed source code is a security problem. Yes everyone has access to android and Linux source code which is why it is more secure not less.

Can't wait to try this out when it moves out of alpha stage.

Developer Preview.

Lots of people need to read that over and over.

This is nowhere near anything even remotely intended for use as a daily driver, not by a long shot. This is not even alpha-build territory.

This is "Here is how we think things are going to go, start working on some apps and give us feedback on if you think we're headed in the right direction or not" territory.

Personally, I can see where they're headed with a lot of things, and I like it.

Re: Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 Released! [Official Dev Preview]

Bodhi Linux is available for installation on the nexus 7 if you would like to run a full fledged Linux OS. I haven't ran it myself on my nexus 7 but I have ran it on my desktop and it is not a bad distro. Its based/built on Ubuntu. I have no idea how well it runs on nexus 7 but I know it runs well on desktop PC. They have an IMG along with instructions at there site specifically for the nexus 7.

Re: Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 Released! [Official Dev Preview]

Anyone try to back up ubuntu and restore it with twrp? Just curious...
[Nexus 7 General] AlexDeGruven:
Next year sometime. This is an early early early developer preview. If you're going to be picking up a device specifically to use this, then wait until next spring.
[Nexus 7 General] ima.monstaaa:
You may have to use CWM that Ubuntu flashes when you do it through their method. I personally haven't tried backing it up, I just flashed stock android back over using the method they provided, as one of my friends tried flashing CM10.1 over Ubuntu with the CWM they provided and had some issues with it. I'd be interested to see if TWRP does work for backing it up or if you can use the MultiROM TWRP and dual boot Android/Ubuntu since they now have a flashable .zip floating around. My only concern is that the bootloader may be different enough to restrict this from working properly.

You don't need to. Make a nandroid backup, then you can restore it (this doesn't erase your internal SDCard or your recovery mode). I did it and had 0 problems.

Re: Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 Released! [Official Dev Preview]

You sure that sd-card won't be erased? In official tutorial its written that everything including sd-card will be erased... :?
[Nexus 7 General] jmtast:
I'm sorry I didn't clarify earlier. I didn't follow the official tutorial (the one that uses Ubuntu on your desktop and adb), but the unofficial one that uses only CWM/TWRP to flash 2 files as if it was any other rom. That way, both my SDCard and my recovery were untouched and I was able to wipe everything and restore after testing.
[Nexus 7 General] XxNiKxX:
Re: Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 Released! [Official Dev Preview]

You didn't flash the image file with fastboot?
[Nexus 7 General] !n0x:
you can opt for the flashable zip method (you can actually get flashable zips of the images on the Ubuntu website) via TWRP/CWM. Just remember to backup. I tried this and was able to restore back to Android.
[Nexus 7 General] jmtast:
No. As !n0x says, I used the flashable zips in CWM recovery. I read that TWRP also works.

Re: Ubuntu for Tablets for Nexus 7 Released! [Official Dev Preview]

Very easy to install....like any other rom. Did a nandroid, wiped cache and davlik...ran zips...reboot.

Checked it out a bit. I realize its a preview....so it doesn't really do anything at the moment. Surf the net...use the calculator ...

Pretty....neat. restored my nandroid after 10 minutes.

Might end up being usefull for some.....but for mainstream use...I doubt it will ever go anywhere. No android apps use being planned. Well it'll be used by some Linux fans maybe....but no device will ever be sold with Ubuntu as its sole OS. Not anytime soon anyway. Unless they get a large app store quickly. Look at rim.....still a pretty lousy app selection.

Like I said....neat tho. Pretty too! :)

Finally I got Ubuntu Touch in my Nexus 7 3G with multiboot, following this > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2120529 < tutorial.

I had some trouble because it needs a patched kernel / hardboot to work, but installed it and all went fine. Now I have main CM10.1 ROM on internal and Ubuntu Touch Preview as second ROM.

I'm finding a problem though, when I try to connect to my house's wifi, as it's WPA protected, it asks me for the password, but even focusing the password field tapping on it, no keyboard shows, so I'm unable to type in the password, resulting in no connectivity at all... so I can't test any of the webapps, the browser, and so on...

Anyone has found a workaround for this ?

Cheers!

[Motorola Droid 4] FSN:
the droid 4 is not avaiable outside of the USA, you have to buy it e.g. via ebay.

but pay attention, the phone may not work directly in your country / with your provider, so you'd have to GSM-patch it, but there are some good explanations here.
[Motorola Droid 4] JayH1980:
These phones suck anyway...save your money. Major software issues, locked boot loader.
[Motorola Droid 4] FSN:
JayH, then why do you post in this forum? If you don't like it, don't buy it.

The phone is definitely great if you can handle it, not the best and the newest, but it has the most awesome physical keyboard I ever used, and the support for the roms getting built is also very good. Thanks to safestrap, the locked bootloader isn't a downer. (at this point: THANK YOU HASHCODE).
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
There are good stable ROMs for this phone. Eclipse ICS + olegfusion's GSM patch or Olegfusion's version of the stock 217 ROM are the ones to go for if you want it to just work. The ports of Cyanogenmod etc. aren't quite there yet, though they are getting close.

There's also one in the dev section now that appears to be stock but with additional languages including Italian.

But yes you'll be needing to buy one from the USA. I got mine from Devices Now and would happily recommend them, especially since they will ship you the phone already upgraded to ICS which takes out most of the work of making it work on GSM.
[Motorola Droid 4] JayH1980:
I posted because I own one of these phones sadly... Hash has done a great job but you have to use up valuable memory to load custom roms due to the locked boot loader. I came from an HTC Evo 3D(sprint) to this phone and the HTC was far superior.
[Motorola Droid 4] FSN:
well, some people like it, some people dont.

I came from a Galaxy Note, but I was willing to take the burden of going to a lower screen resolution because of the very nice hardware keyboard.

I had the HTC Desire Z ( / G2) before my note and I'm very sad the leading manufacturers haven't found a way to make a good phone (maybe not as thin as others, but less bulky) with a full keyboard.

Hi,

We’re excited to announce the launch of Smart911Connect, the first program that gives solution providers and developers a method for delivering data to 9-1-1, differentiating your application and delivering added value to your users.

Smart911Connect was launched by Rave Mobile Safety, creators of the national public safety database Smart911, to connect third parties holding data relevant to the emergency response process with supported 9-1-1 centers. Call takers and dispatchers within Smart911 connected public safety answering points (PSAPs) can now automatically receive approved sources of data, including text and images, to their workstation in real-time alongside a 9-1-1 call from a variety of different solutions and apps.

Smart911Connect is accepting beta partners to enter deployment at select 9-1-1 sites. Partners wishing to participate in the Smart911Connect program should apply at smart911connect.com.
